Chapter Thirty-Five: The City of Stars

Medyo blurry siya but that's what our soft-spoken Vesta looks like! She always hugs her gun 24/7 for good luck!

"I just had an idea," wika niya. "Why don't we...do it together?"

IT'S BEEN thirty minutes and the guild hall is still in full chaos.

"Bakit? Akala mo ba gusto ko din mapasama sa grupong 'to?!" sigaw ni River. "I'm only here because of my sister!"

"Well, why don't we just quit this group and form another?!" sigaw din ni Halcyon. "I don't want to be a part of this guy's group! I can't stand him!"

"Then, don't. I'm not even forcing you to stay with us here," nanunuyang sagot ni Astro. "You can leave, for goodness sake. The door is open!"

"What, and let the beautiful elf to stay with you?! Bakit mo ba siya gustong makagrupo, hindi ba't hindi mo siya gusto? She took your supposedly damn title, right?" itinuro niya ako.

Bakit ba napasok na naman ako sa usapan? At bakit ba kanina pa 'to nagd-drama? Mula nang isuggest ni Astro na sumali si Halcyon sa team namin na mag-du-dungeon quest ay nagwala na ito. At first, he denied his invitation pero nang malaman na kasama ako ay puno siya ng reklamo.

Hindi pa nakakatulong ang mga kasama ko na panay ang lait sa kwartong kinaroroonan namin ngayon. Oo, wala silang pakialam sa pinag-uusapan. It's the Night Growler's guild hall, so aside from my team's dislike for the building and it's owner, they also despise the members who are blessing us with their presence.

"Mas maganda pa 'yong sanga ng puno dito," insulto ni Feyre habang tinitingnan ang plain na ceiling. "At least nakikita ko ang langit doon."

Hindi niya rin naman makikita ang langit kapag nagkaguild hall na kami.

"Mas maganda pa ang bahay ko dito. Fifty thousand gold din 'yon kung hindi lang sinunog ng iba diyan," nakisali si Hex.

Hindi na din naman maibabalik ang bahay niya dahil abo na lang iyon.

"Mas maganda pa ang streets ng Gaea dito po. Kahit mausok at magulo po, nakakakanta ako," sumimangot si Minerva.

She can still sing inside this building though.

"Mas maganda pa po ang Cathedral kaysa dito," ngumunguyang tugon ni Priamos. "Pero kung tutuusin po, mukhang Cathedral din po ito. O 'yong mga old dark buildings po na may naninirahang vampires."

Have they ever realized that our guild hall might look like this?

"Mas maganda pa ang kilikili ni Cerberus kaysa dito," I choked on my laugh because of what Voldmir said.

"Mas maganda pa... ang..." luminga-linga si Vesta sa paligid. Wala itong maisip na insulto. Well, in the first place, she wasn't one to insult.

"Bulok na armor sa shop ni Aeron," bulong ni Voldmir sa babae.

"Bulok... na armor sa shop... ni Aeron," she said in the softest way possible that it doesn't even sound insulting now.

That's what they continually spoke about in the whole meeting. That's why aside from the three idiots that are arguing in front of me, my friends are insulting the building behind me. I could feel a headache forming with the chaos that never seemed to end. I exhaled a long and tiring sigh. Humalumbaba ako sa mahabang mesa at mukhang napansin nila ako dahil tumahimik ang buong kwarto.
